Episode 01 (English) with Flaubert Djateng

In this first episode of the podcast Decolonial Memories,
Flaubert Djateng, coordinator of the civil society organisation
Zenü Network in Cameroon, talks about his work on the legacies of
German colonialism in his country. Working together, academia,
civil society and traditional rulers are exploring the historical
translocation of ancestral remains and cultural belongings to
Germany and searching for ways to have them returned. At the
state level, Cameroon's government has established an
Interministerial Committee charged with the repatriation of
cultural belongings. Flaubert Djateng is a member of its
Sub-Committee on Legal Affairs. He addresses the dynamics of
interaction between the state, traditional rulers and civil
society on these issues. He also comments on possible ways for
German and Cameroonian civil society to cooperate on addressing
the entangled past of the two countries.
